Who  We  Are  and  What  We  Do 

To  many  thousands  who  receive  this  book,  we  need  no  in¬ 
troduction,  since  we  have  been  continuously  in  business 
in  the  city  of  Dubuque  for  thirty  years.  During  that 
time  we  have  conducted  one  of  the  largest  lumber  businesses 
in  the  Middle  West  and  for  the  past  ten  years  have  disposed  of 
our  products  “Direct  to  the  Consumer.” 

The  natural  advantages  which  we  enjoy  in  being  located 
on  the  Mississippi  River,  which  enables  us  to  secure  a  good  share 
of  our  stock  by  the  water  route,  thus  reducing  the  cost  of 
transporting  materials  to  our  plant  to  a  minimum,  the  low  rail 
rates  from  all  sections  to  this  river  point,  the  low  freight 
rates  to  the  various  stations  throughout  this  rich  agricultural 
section,  assured  our  success  from  the  very  beginning. 


High  Quality  our  Constant  Aim 

Low  grade  lumber  and  poorly  manufactured  mill  work  have 
been  so  persistently  furnished  to  users  of  these  commodities 
that  many  buyers  have  been,  and  no  doubt  still  are,  under  the 
impression  that  a  good  quality  was  no  longer  obtainable,  or 
only  at  exorbitantly  high  prices. 

During  the  years  we  have  been  disposing  of  our  “Gilt  Edge 
Building  Materials”  direct  to  the  user,  we  have  been  able  to 
dispel  this  idea  from  the  minds  of  thousands  upon  thousands 
who  have  permitted  us  to  supply  them. 

Our  contention  that  the  great  intelligent  body  of  home 
builders  and  users  of  building  materials  in  general  would  ap¬ 
preciate  high  quality  lumber  and  mill  work,  has  proven  correct. 
The  truly  phenomenal  increase  in  our  business  fully  substan¬ 
tiates  the  fact  that  we  have  succeeded  in  establishing  a  reputa¬ 
tion  for  furnishing  a  better  and  more  satisfactory  quality  of 
building  materials  than  it  has  been  possible  for  the  users  of 
such  goods  to  secure  elsewhere  for  the  same  money.  Of  the 
thousands  of  carloads  of  material  we  have  sold  and  shipped 
direct  to  consumers  throughout  the  country,  not  a  single  one 
has  been  rejected,  and  we  have  had  no  justifiable  complaint 
whatever  on  quality.  This,  we  believe,  is  a  record  without  prece¬ 
dent  and  we  feel  justly  proud  of  it. 

When  you  buy  our  “Gilt  Edge  Lumber  and  Mill  Work”  you 
secure  the  best  that  can  be  produced,  both  from  a  standpoint  of 
quality  of  raw  materials  as  well  as  workmanship.  Thousands 
of  our  old  customers  will  gladly  substantiate  this  assertion.

Your  Protection 

In  the  first  place,  any  guarantee  we  make  is  backed  up  by 
our  financial  responsibility.  Our  paid-up  Capital  Stock  and 
Surplus  aggregates  $400,000.00,  and  you  can  verify  this  by  hav¬ 
ing  your  banker  look  us  up  through  the  commercial  agencies. 
By  permission,  we  refer  you  to  the  German  Savings  Bank,  the 
Dubuque  National  Bank,  the  German  Trust  &  Savings  Bank,  of 
this  city,  or  you  can  write  to  any  of  the  many  mercantile  es¬ 
tablishments  in  Dubuque  and  can  secure  information  as  to  our 
reputation  for  fair  dealing. 

Since  we  have  shipped  materials  to  practically  every  com¬ 
munity  in  the  territory  tributary  to  this  market,  we  can  without 
doubt  refer  you  to  some  one  of  our  customers  in  your  neigh¬ 
borhood. 

We  simply  could  not  hope  to  continue  this  business  and 
build  it  up  to  still  greater  proportions  if  we  did  not  have  the 
confidence  and  good  will  of  those  whom  we  have  supplied  in 
the  past.  Our  steady  growth  can  be  attributed  largely  to  the 
continued  patronage  of  those  with  whom  we  deal  and  the  assist¬ 
ance  they  give  us  in  recommending  us  to  their  friends  and 
neighbors. 


Our  Complete  Line  of  Mill  Work 

During  the  first  few  years  after  inaugurating  our  direct 
to  the  consumer”  method,  we  confined  ourselves  largely  to  the 
sale  of  lumber,  shingles,  lath  and  such  items.  Our  desire  to 
serve  our  customers  to  better  advantage,  impelled  us  to  add  to 
our  assortment  a  complete  stock  of  mill  work  and  other  build¬ 
ing  specialties,  but  we  did  not  issue  a  catalogue  covering  such 
items  and  showing  net  prices  on  same  until  we  had  perfected 
our  facilities  to  such  a  degree  that  we  were  able  to  offer  our 
patrons  a  line  of  “real  bargains”  not  only  from  the  standpoint 
of  price  alone,  but  “High  Quality”  as  well. 

The  instantaneous  increase  in  the  volume  of  our  sales  of 
mill  work  after  distributing  former  issues  of  our  “Home  Builders’ 
Guide”  demonstrated  to  us  that  our  patrons  really  appreciated 
our  efforts.  The  people  of  many  communities  and  hundreds  of 
carpenters  and  contractors  regard  our  “Gilt  Edge  brand  of  goods 
as  the  standard  of  High  Quality.”  They  know  from  experience 
that  they  are  right,  not  only  occasionally,  but  every  time  and 
all  the  time. 

Furthermore,  kindly  bear  in  mind  that  we  are  in  position 
to  ship  promptly,  out  of  stock,  all  items  shown  in  our  Home 
Builders’  Guide  No.  7,  and  you  will  appreciate  what  it  means  to 
you  to  be  able  to  secure  such  a  line  of  dependable  goods  at  an 
enormous  saving  in  cost,  and  have  them  forwarded  to  you  the 
same  day  your  order  reaches  us,  if  necessary,  either  by  local 
freight  or  loaded  in  car  with  lumber  from  our  yards.

Our  Low  Prices  Save  You  Money 

While  the  increased  cost  of  some  of  the  raw  materials  enter¬ 
ing  into  the  manufacture  of  the  various  articles  has  made  it 
necessary  for  us  to  advance  our  prices  on  some  of  the  items  listed, 
you  will  find  by  making  comparisons  with  the  prices  demanded  by 
retail  establishments,  that  you  can  save  all  the  way  from  20  to 
50  per  cent  by  buying  from  us.  You  may  wonder  how  this  can 
be  possible.  Let  us  explain. 

We  carry  on  hand  here  in  Dubuque,  one  of  the  largest  and 
what  is  conceded  to  be  the  most  complete  assortment  of  Lumber 
and  Mill  Work  in  the  entire  Middle  West.  We  secure  our  stock 
in  large  quantities  in  the  various  items,  so  that  a  truly  tre¬ 
mendous  saving  is  effected  in  the  manufacture  of  the  goods. 
You  can  readily  understand  that  a  factory  can  make  up  several 
carloads  of  one  item  at  a  much  lower  price  than  a  part  of  a  car¬ 
load  consisting  of  hundreds  of  items.  The  saving  effected  under 
our  method  in  time  and  labor  enables  us  to  offer  these  goods  at 
lower  prices  than  it  would  cost  the  small  factories  to  produce 
them. 

Our  facilities  for  storing  and  loading  the  goods  economically 
are  of  the  very  best;  we  deal  direct  with  the  consumer;  conse¬ 
quently  eliminate  the  cost  of  maintaining  branch  agencies,  or 
selling  through  retail  lumber  dealers,  and  you  save  this  differ¬ 
ence. 


“As  Represented  By  Us — or  Your  Money  Back’’ 

AVhen  you  order  any  mill  work  or  other  material  from  us  and 
order  is  accepted  by  us,  we  guarantee  to  furnish  just  as  repre¬ 
sented,  and  if  you  find  anything  to  the  contrary,  we  pay  freight 
both  ways  and  refund  your  money. 

In  no  case,  however,  can  we  agree  to  accept  the  return  of 
materials  made  up  “special.’’  By  this  we  mean  items  not  regular 
stock,  or  of  special  design  or  size,  which  cannot  readily  be  used 
by  other  builclers,  nor  listed  in  our  catalogue  and  therefore  could 
not  be  re-sold  by  us.  It  is,  of  course,  understood  that  we  shall 
gladly  rectify  any  error  made  by  us  in  filling  an  order,  and  this 
applies  to  special  items  as  well  as  stock  goods. 


Prompt  Shipments  and  Safe  Delivery  Guaranteed 

All  items  shown  in  this  Home  Builders  ’  Guide,  as  well  as  lum¬ 
ber,  shingles  and  such  material  (except  a  few  items  where  ship¬ 
ment  from  factory  is  specified)  are  shipped  from  Dubuque,  under 
our  personal  supervision,  out  of  our  own  stock,  and  we  can  con¬ 
sequently  assure  everyone  immediate  shipment.  All  goods  are 
packed  carefully  and  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the 
railroad  rules,  which  enables  us  to  guarantee  safe  delivery.  Nat¬ 
urally,  however,  a  shipment  may  be  damaged  in  transit,  but  in 
such  cases,  the  railroad  or  express  company  is  responsible,  and 


5 


PETER  d.SEIPPEL  LUMBER  CQ.  DUBUQUE.  IOWA 


BUtLDINC  MATERIALS 

is  obliged  to  make  the  damage  good.  We  will  replace  or  repair 
damaged  goods  as  may  be  necessary,  but  in  all  such  cases  we 
must  have  the  freight  bill  issued  by  the  agent  at  your  station, 
with  a  notation  on  the  original  bill  explaining  as  near  as  pos¬ 
sible  the  extent  and  nature  of  the  damage  to  the  goods.  We  can¬ 
not  collect  a  claim  for  damages  without  having  this  freight  bill 
with  proper  notation,  and  can  consequently  not  entertain  a  claim 
from  our  customers  unless  they  furnish  us  the  necessary  docu¬ 
ments  which  will  enable  us  to  secure  reimbursement  from  the 
transporting  line  or  lines. 

In  cases  where  merely  some  glass  is  broken  or  the  damage  to 
the  article  is  such  that  you  can  have  it  properly  and  promptly 
repaired  locally,  we  allow  you  to  purchase  glass  from  your  local 
dealer  or  have  the  repairs  made,  sending  us  receipted  bill  with 
freight  receipt,  showing  agent’s  notation  of  damages,  and  we 
will  promptly  send  check  to  cover. 


Low  Cost  of  Freight 

Our  traffic  department  is  under  the  supervision  of  an  expert 
who  has  had  years  of  experience  in  railroad  office  work  and  who 
is  thoroughly  familiar  with  all  the  details  necessary  to  secure 
the  very  lowest  rates  on  the  various  items,  no  matter  where  they 
are  to  be  shipped.  Many  people  seem  to  be  under  the  impression 
that  freight  charges  on  building  materials  are  enormous  and  that 
this  feature  prevents  them  from  buying  such  items  from  us. 
The  fact  is  that  the  retail  yard  is  obliged  to  pay  the  very  same 
freight  on  these  very  same  items.  You  can  ship  the  goods  just  as 
cheap  as  anyone ;  in  fact,  our  advantageous  location  here  makes 
it  possible  for  those  located  in  various  sections  of  the  territory 
tributary  to  this  market  to  have  their  goods  shipped  at  a  lower 
transportation  charge  than  your  dealer  who  buys  in  other  mar¬ 
kets. 

AVhat  is  of  the  greatest  importance  to  you,  however,  is  the 
established  fact  that  these  freight  charges,  when  compared  with 
the  profits  asked  by  the  retailers,  are  really  insignificant.  Owing 
to  some  impending  changes  in  rates,  it  would  be  impractical  at 
this  time  to  make  up  a  lengthy  list  of  stations,  showing  rates 
applying,  but  to  give  you  an  idea  what  a  small  percentage  of  the 
total  cost  of  a  lot  of  items  the  freight  really  amounts  to,  we  are 
giving  herewith  an  example  :

The  above  freights  are  figured  on  shipments  to  Council  Bluffs, 
Iowa,  all  the  way  across  the  state — 330  miles — and  the  freight 
charges  amount  to  less  than  5  per  cent  of  the  cost  of  the  goods. 


The  same  lot  shipped  to  Ft.  Dodge,  la . $1.11  frt. 

The  same  lot  shipped  to  Sioux  Falls,  S.  D .  2.11  ‘‘

Advantages  in  Buying  Car  Lots 

This  example  will  give  you  a  fair  idea  how  little  the  item  of 
freight  amounts  to  on  any  lot  of  material  you  may  want  shipped 
by  local  freight,  and  if  you  can  arrange  to  have  these  mill  work 
items  loaded  in  car  with  lumber  from  our  yards  here,  the  freight 
in  most  cases  will  be  from  35  per  cent  to  60  per  cent  less.  For 
instance,  the  4th  class  rate  from  Dubuque  to  Ft.  Dodge  is  18.3 
per  cwt.,  while  the  carload  rate  is  only  8.3  per  cwt. 

And  right  here  is  where  we  serve  you  better  than  anyone 
else  and  make  it  possible  for  you  to  take  advantage  of  the  low 
car-lot  rates,  because  wC  ship  not  merely  the  mill  work,  but  lum¬ 
ber  of  every  description,  shingles  and  lath;  in  fact,  everything 
right  out  of  our  stock  here  at  Dubuque,  and  your  entire  order 
will  come  in  one  car.  When  you  do  not  need  a  full  carload  your¬ 
self,  get  your  neighbors  who  are  needing  building  materials  to 
join  with  you,  and  in  this  way  all  will  save  money.  We  will 
arrange  to  load  the  various  orders  in  such  a  manner  that  all 
trouble  and  confusion  will  be  avoided  when  unloading,  and  each 
man’s  goods  will  be  plainly  marked.

Special  Work 

Under  this  head  would  come  all  orders  for  mill  work  of  special 
design  and  odd  sizes,  as  is  frequently  required  in  buildings 
planned  by  architects  and  to  meet  the  ideas  of  the  owner.  AVhile 
we  advise  the  use  of  stock  sizes  and  designs  wherever  feasible, 
we  are  in  position  to  execute  orders  for  special  work  promptly 
and  at  most  reasonable  prices.  If  a  memorandum  is  sent  us 
indicating  exact  sizes,  also  sketches  or  drawings  where  neces¬ 
sary,  we  shall  gladly  furnish  estimate.  Bear  in  mind,  however, 
that  the  use  of  stock  sizes  is  an  economy,  and  delays  are  avoided. 

Any  goods  made  special  are  not  returnable  under  any  circum¬ 
stances,  unless  of  course  an  error  has  been  made  by  us  in  filling 
order,  but  we  guarantee  in  every  case  that  the  goods  shipped 
will  be  according  to  order  in  quality  and  design. 


Our  Prices  and  Terms 

All  prices  named  in  this  catalogue  are  net  cash  with  order, 
where  orders  amount  to  $50.00  or  less,  unless  arrangements  are 
made  to  the  contrary  by  contract  for  a  large  amount  of  material, 
such  as  may  be  required  in  building  a  new  house  or  barn.  No 
cash  discounts  are  allowed,  because  our  margin  of  profit  does 
not  permit  this,  and  those  needing  only  a  few  items  buy  them 
just  as  cheap  as  those  needing  a  large  bill.  All  enjoy  the  same 
advantages  and  buy  on  the  same  basis. 

In  cases  where  a  bill  of  more  than  $50.00  or  as  much  as  a  full 
carload  of  lumber  and  mill  work  is  purchased,  all  we  ask  is  that 
you  send  us  a  letter  of  reference  from  your  banker  or  someone 
personally  known  to  us,  together  with  a  reasonable  deposit  with 
your  order  and  we  will  ship  you  the  goods,  you  to  pay  us  within 
ten  days  after  arrival  of  car  at  your  railroad  station.  This 
gives  you  ample  time  to  unload  the  material  and  inspect  it  so  that 
you  can  satisfy  yourself  that  we  furnished  everything  strictly 
as  represented.  This  certainly  is  as  fair  a  proposition  as  anyone 
could  make. 

Thousands  of  others  who  have  purchased  their  building  mate¬ 
rial  from  us  were  more  than  pleased  with  the  quality  we  fur¬ 
nished,  and  our  service,  and  saved  a  good  sum  of  money.  Send

A  Free  Trip  to  Dubuque 

The  gates  of  the  most  beautiful,  most  progressive,  most 
thriving  city  in  the  Middle  West  are  wide  open  to  you — 
free  of  cost.  You  are  invited  to  enter  and  be  our  guest. 
We  want  to  show  you  a  sample  of  whole-souled  Dubuque  hos¬ 
pitality  such  as  few  cities  offer  to  the  individual  visitor. 

During  the  33  years  we  have  been  in  business  in  Dubuque, 
we  have  met  thousands  of  the  residents  of  this  section,  know  them 
personally  and  have  had  pleasant  business  relations  with  them 
continuously.  So  satisfactory  have  been  our  dealings  with  them 
that  90  per  cent  of  those  who  dealt  with  us  the  first  ten  years  of 
business  are  still  our  customers. 

But  there  are  a  great  many  in  this  big  rich  ‘‘garden  spot 
of  the  world”  whom  we  have  never  met  and  are  anxious  to  meet 
— men  who  now  have  no  conception  of  Dubuque’s  commercial 
greatness  and  who  would  find  real  pleasure,  profit  and  inspira¬ 
tion  from  a  visit  here. 

We  want  to  meet  you  and  give  you  the  hand  of  good  fellow¬ 
ship.  We  want  to  show  you  why  Dubuque  is  entitled  to  your 
recognition  as  the  commercial  center  of  this  section,  and  prove  to 
you  that  the  people  of  Dubuque  are  your  friends  and  appreciate 
your  good  will  and  that  it  is  really  largely  to  your  advantage 
to  deal  here,  especially  in  lumber  and  mill  work. 

If  you  live  within  350  miles  of  Dubuque  and  are  in  the  market 
for  a  house  or  barn  bill  and  are  needing  material  enough  to 
make  a  carload  or  more,  come  to  Dubuque  to  see  us.  While  here 
you  can  inspect  our  stock,  select  just  what  you  want  out  of  our 
thoroughly  complete  assortment  and  we  can  load  your  car  the 
same  day  if  desired.  We  shall  gladly  go  over  your  proposition 
with  you  personally  and  in  detail  and  can  without  a  doubt  offer 
suggestions  that  will  not  only  save  you  money  but  will  also 
insure  you  a  more  satisfactory  and  better  class  of  material  for 
the  particular  work  in  hand  than  you  could  secure  in  other  quar¬ 
ters,  and  besides  we  will  refund  your  railroad  fare.  You  will 
save  money  on  your  bill  and  will  have  a  nice  trip  to  this  beautiful 
city  absolutely  free. 

We  will  gladly  furnish  you  an  estimate  on  your  bill  if  you 
will  mail  us  a  memorandum  of  your  needs,  but  the  most  practical 
thing  for  you  to  do  is  to  come  here  personally.  Come  and  pay 
us  a  visit.  We’ll  be  glad  to  meet  you  and  shall  endeavor  to 
make  your  stay  here  a  pleasant  one  as  well  as  a  most  profitable 
one  for  you.

White  Pine  Doors 

There  is  not  an  item  that  goes  into  the  construction  of  a 
dwelling  which  is  noticed  more  by  the  visitor  than  the 
doors.  Neither  is  there  another  item,  aside  from  the  floor¬ 
ing,  perhaps,  that  is  subjected  to  such  continual  usage  and  wear 
as  doors,  and  it  is  consequently  most  necessary  that  in  selecting 
this  item,  proper  care  be  exercised  and  that  quality  and  design 
have  first  consideration. 

The  Solid  White  Pine  as  well  as  the  White  Pine  Stiles  and 
Rails  and  Yellow  Pine  Panel  Doors  as  shown  in  this  book  are 
made  of  the  very  best  quality  of  material  produced,  and  the 
manner  of  construction  and  the  workmanship  simply  cannot  be 
excelled.  We  have  given  these  features  special  consideration, 
and  in  addition,  are  offering  such  designs  as  we  have  found 
from  years  of  experience  are  the  most  practical  and  at  the 
same  time  insure  the  buyer  the  patterns  most  popular  in  modern 
construction. 

We  want  to  call  your  particular  attention  to  our  2-Pan.  door, 
our  No.  S-202,  which  we  are  offering  with  White  Pine  Stiles 
and  Rails  and  Yellow  Pine  Panels,  as  also  with  Fir  Panels. 
Both  the  Y.  P.  and  Fir  panels  are  3-Ply  Rotary  Cut  Veneer,  a 
feature  which  makes  it  possible  to  show  the  beautiful  grain  of 
these  woods  to  the  best  advantage,  and  as  the  experience  of  door 
manufacturers  has  demonstrated,  produces  a  door  that  positively 
cannot  be  surpassed  in  quality.  The  Soft  White  Pine  Stiles  and 
Rails  prevent  warping  and  the  texture  of  this  wood  harmonizes 
sufficiently  with  the  panel  stock  so  that  the  entire  door  can  be 
finished  in  a  manner  that  will  produce  the  best  results. 

We  positively  do  not  use  any  Spruce  or  woods  of  that  nature 
in  constructing  the  doors  we  style  “White  Pine”  and  we  ab¬ 
solutely  guarantee  every  door  we  furnish  to  be  free  from  defects 
in  material  as  well  as  workmanship. 

All  doors  in  the  sizes  listed  are  carried  in  stock  by  us,  and 
inasmuch  as  the  assortment  of  sizes  is  complete  and  comprises 
all  sizes  required  in  the  construction  of  any  modern  residence, 
our  customers  are  assured  prompt  deliveries  in  every  instance. 
All  doors  are  carefully  packed  and  the  face  of  the  package 
covered  with  water-proofed  chip  paper,  thus  protecting  ship¬ 
ments  from  damage  in  transit.  You  will  find  our  prices  lower 
than  the  retail  dealers  are  asking  for  an  inferior  quality  of 
goods.

Oak  Veneered  Doors 

There  are  few  items  in  the  building  material  line  in  which 
an  inferior  quality  of  stock  has  been  marketed  more  per¬ 
sistently  than  in  Veneered  doors.  Many  manufacturers  and 
dealers  seem  to  have  been  and  are  still  laboring  under  the  im¬ 
pression  that  the  proper  thing  to  market  in  the  way  of  hard¬ 
wood  doors  is  something  that  can  be  sold  at  an  extremely  low 
price. 

As  you  have  perhaps  noticed,  there  is  a  wide  difference  of 
price  made  in  Oak  doors,  but  it  has  been  demonstrated  time  and 
again  that  it  pays  to  use  only  the  very  best  quality,  and  doors 
constructed  along  lines  that  have  been  found  practical  and  will 
insure  the  purchaser  lasting  qualities. 

To  begin  with,  a  veneered  door  that  will  stand  must  have  a 
White  Pine  core,  properly  jointed.  Every  one  of  the  Oak 
Veneered  doors  shown  in  this  catalogue  is  built  with  Strictly 
Soft  White  Pine  core,  held  together  with  dove  tail  joints.  The 
doors  are  manufactured  by  people  who  have  made  a  specialty 
of  this  item  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  and  they  are 
thoroughly  familiar  with  the  best  and  most  modern  methods  of 
construction  and  the  handling  of  the  veneers,  and  we  feel  we 
can  truthfull}"  say  that  the  Oak  Veneered  doors  we  are  offering 
have  no  superior  on  the  market.  Every  item  that  goes  into  the 
construction  of  them  is  carefully  selected,  thoroughly  kiln-dried, 
put  together  by  skilled  workmen  in  a  factory  equipped  in  every 
respect  with  the  most  modern  machinery  and  appliances. 

A  few  features  bearing  on  the  care  and  handling  of  Oak 
Veneered  doors  are  worthy  of  your  attention.  It  should  hardly 
be  necessary  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  a  veneered  door 
must  not  be  stored  or  hung  in  a  building  until  the  walls  and 
plaster  are  thoroughly  dried  out.  It  should  be  remembered  that 
all  material  in  veneered  doors  is  thoroughly  kiln-dried,  and  if 
exposed  to  dampness  or  weather,  it  will  absorb  the  moisture  and 
this  will  naturally  have  a  tendency  to  check  the  wood  or  loosen 
the  veneer. 

In  shipping  our  doors,  we  cover  them  with  water-proofed 
chip  paper  and  crate  them.  This  will  protect  them  under  or¬ 
dinary  conditions  from  any  damage  while  they  are  in  the  hands 
of  the  transporting  railroad  lines.  When  the  doors  are  received, 
they  should  be  examined  carefully,  and  if  they  have  been  damaged 
by  exposure  or  rough  handling,  attention  should  be  called  to 
your  local  railway  agent  of  this  fact  before  the  goods  are  re¬ 
moved  from  the  depot  and  you  should  insist  on  him  making

proper  notation  on  the  face  of  the  expense  bill  setting  forth  as 
near  as  possible  the  nature  and  extent  of  the  damage,  if  any. 

When  doors  are  taken  from  the  crates,  unless  stored  in  a  dry 
place,  a  good  stain  or  filler  should  be  applied  at  once.  Oak, 
being  a  porous  wood,  requires  a  pigment  filler.  All  outside 
doors  should  have  at  least  one  coat  of  good  exterior  varnish 
and  the  top  and  bottom  edges  should  be  thoroughly  painted 
with  lead  and  oil  as  soon  as  the  door  is  fitted.  We  do  not  recom¬ 
mend  nor  will  we  guarantee  a  veneered  door  for  outside  use 
when  not  protected  from  the  weafher  by  a  wide  porch  or 
overhanging  projection.  Doors  that  are  exposed  to  the  weather 
should  be  made  of  Solid  AVhite  Pine. 

We  absolutely  guarantee  every  door  we  furnish  to  be  free 
from  defects  in  material  as  well  as  workmanship  and  will  replace 
any  doors  showing  defects,  due  to  these  features. 

The  enormously  large  quantities  in  which  we  handle  these 
doors  makes  it  possible  for  us  to  quote  some  exceedingly  low 
prices  and  you  will  find  our  prices  on  these  high  grade  Oak 
Veneered  doors  much  lower  than  the  retail  dealers  are  asking 
for  an  inferior  quality  of  goods.  Send  us  your  order  for  your 
requirements  and  be  convinced.  The  Gilt  Edge  label  is  a  posi¬ 
tive  guarantee  to  you.

Cottage  Front  Sash 

A  FEW  of  the  designs  of  cottage  front  sash  we  show  are 
such  as  are  considered  regular  stock  or  standard  designs 
all  over  the  country.  We  have  reference  to  Opal  and 

Agate. 

The  balance  of  the  leaded  transom  windows  were  specially 
designed  for  ns  and  represent  the  highest  degree  of  artistic  and 
harmonious  blending  of  colors  and  superior  workmanship.  The 
leaded  sash  will  not  show  the  solder  as  is  so  often  the  case  in  an 
inferior  quality  of  goods. 

All  of  these  sash  are  made  of  strictly  White  Pine — all  clear 
glass  is  of  the  very  best  quality,  double  strength;  in  fact,  nothing 
better  can  be  produced. 

There  is  nothing  that  will  enhance  the  value  or  appearance 
of  a  dwelling  like  our  artistic  cottage  front  windows.  A  compari¬ 
son  will  indicate  to  you  that  our  designs  are  up  to  the  minute 
in  every  way  and  that  our  prices  mean  a  decided  saving  to  you. 

We  can  of  course  furnish  special  designs  and  are  exceptionally 
Avell  prepared  to  turn  out  this  kind  of  work  promptly.  It  is  a 
matter  of  economy  to  use  our  stock  patterns  and  sizes  which  can 
always  be  furnished  without  a  moment’s  delay.

Our  Screens  are  Built  with  MORTISE  and  TENON  at  every  Joint. 

Guaranteed  not  to  sag  or  loosen  up. 

Special  care  is  taken  to  select  only  the  very  best  grade  of  WESTERN 
WHITE  PINE  specially  kiln-dried  and  the  lasting  quality  of  White  Pine  is 
too  well  known  to  require  argument. 

We  price  below  Window  Screens  in  two  kinds  of  wire,  namely — Black 
Wire,  Standard  Twelve  Mesh  to  the  inch;  Galvanized  Wire,  which  is  abso¬ 
lutely  the  highest  grade  screen  wire  cloth  ever  manufactured.  The  wire  is 
an  alloy  aluminum,  and  other  metals  combining  durability  with  the  tough¬ 
ness  and  elasticity  of  steel  and  requires  no  painting  or  lacquer,  making  a 
screen  cloth  practically  indestructible.  Our  screens  are  IVs  inches  thick, 
rails  2  inches  wide,  and  are  priced  in  Black  Wire  and  Galvanized.  Ship¬ 
ments  can  be  made  from  six  to  ten  days  after  receipt  of  order.  Screen 
manufacturers  usually  paint  their  screen  windows  in  order  to  cover  up  poor 
material  used.

Window  Frames 


L  of  our  Window  Frames  are  built  with  a  two  inch 


Solid  Sill,  inch  Outside  Casing,  Drip  Cap,  Blind 


X  A.  and  Parting  Stop  all  made  from  Northern  Soft  White 
Pine.  The  Pulley  Stiles  are  %x5V2  inches,  made  from  Soft 
Arkansas  Yellow  Pine,  an  ideal  wood  for  the  purpose.  It  is 
soft  of  texture,  can  be  finished  in  the  natural  color  or  can 
readily  be  stained  to  harmonize  with  the  interior  trim,  whether 
Oak  or  some  other  Hardwood. 

All  Pulley  Stiles  are  fitted  with  Lacquer  faced  Steel  Axle 
Pulleys,  countersunk  in  stiles  and  securely  fastened  with  screws. 
We  positively  do  not  use  any  of  the  common  cheap  drive  pulleys 
so  frequently  found  in  frames  and  which  cause  the  carpenter 
as  well  as  the  owner  of  a  building  endless  trouble. 

The  quality  of  every  single  item  that  goes  into  the  construc¬ 
tion  of  our  frames  is  the  very  best  obtainable,  and  we  are  just 
as  exacting  about  the  workmanship.  All  parts  are  properly 
mitred,  beveled  and  cut  to  exact  length,  so  that  no  trimming  or 
fitting  is  required.  Even  an  inexperienced  mechanic  can  set 
these  frames  up  without  trouble  and  a  good  carpenter  can  set 
up  all  the  frames  for  an  entire  house  job  in  a  few  hours. 

Every  frame  is  shipped  Knock  Down  in  two  bundles;  i.  e., 
the  head  jamb,  sill,  outside  head  casing  and  drip  cap  in  one, 
the  Pulley  Stiles  and  Outside  Casing  in  the  other.  Single  sash 
frames  are  constructed  and  bundled  the  same  as  AVindow  Frames 
except  that  no  pulleys  are  included. 


OUTSIDE  DOOR  FRAMES 


All  of  our  outside  door  frames  are  built  with  two-ply 
jambs,  l%x5|/^  inches,  so  constructed  as  to  prevent  warping 
and  the  face  of  the  jambs  all  sound  and  practically  clear  lum¬ 
ber.  These  jambs,  drip  cap  and  1^8x41/4  inches  outside  cas¬ 
ing  are  all  made  from  Northern  Soft  AVhite  Pine. 

And  note  in  particular:  All  sills  are  two  inch  solid  Clear 
Oak.  This  feature  alone  makes  our  frames  worth  considerable 
more  than  the  ordinary  stock  being  offered. 

These  door  frames  are  also  shipped  Knock  Down  in  one  bun¬ 
dle,  This  method  of  shipping'  frames  reduces  the  possibilities 
of  breakage  as  well  as  freight  charges  to  a  minimum,  and  we 
can  ship  frames  the  same  day  your  order  reaches  us,  if  neces¬ 
sary. 

Just  consider  the  advantages  we  are  offering  you  in  this 
item  alone — a  big  saving  in  cost ;  strictly  high  grade  frames ; 
prompt  shipments;  quick  and  safe  deliveries  because  of  the 
compact  and  substantial  bundling,  which  facilitates  handling 
by  the  railroad  employees,  and  consequently  lowers  freight 
charges. 

Save  time  and  money  by  sending  us  your  next  order.

Stock  Designs  of  Stair  Work 

Years  of  experience  have  demonstrated  to  us  that  the  stock 
designs  of  stairs  as  shown  in  this  book  are  adapted  for  use 
in  the  great  majority  of  dwellings.  The  various  items  are 
of  the  very  latest  designs  and  made  up  of  the  highest  quality 
of  material  and  by  thoroughly  experienced  workmen  and  the 
most  modern  machinery,  so  that  the  purchaser  is  assured  the 
very  highest  class  of  stock  that  can  be  produced. 

The  dotted  lines  shown  on  the  cuts  of  the  wall  strings  indi¬ 
cate  where  steps  and  risers  are  to  be  housed  into  strings.  Our 
stock  strings  are  not  housed,  since  this  work  can  be  done  better 
and  cheaper  by  the  carpenter  on  the  job.  The  rise  and  run  are 
invariably  not  determined  until  a  building  is  practically  com¬ 
pleted  and  the  use  of  our  stock  design  of  stairs  avoids  the  costly 
and  aggravating  delays  always  experienced  when  stairs  are 
built  to  order.  Please  note  that  prices  on  stair  rail  and  shoe 
include  fillet  strip  set  in  rabbet.  No  extra  charge  is  made  for 
specified  lengths  of  rail  and  strings.

Wood  Mantels 

The  demand  for  wood  mantels  is  increasing  daily  because 
home  builders  are  realizing  that  there  is  no  other  item  that 
lends  so  much  attractiveness  to  the  living  room  as  the  old- 
fashioned  fireplace.  As  the  poet  has  so  aptly  said:  “It  is  a  boon 
to  health  and  good  cheer ;  it  is  the  master-key  of  the  imagination ; 
the  password  of  good  fellowship,  and  the  seal  of  the  heart.” 

As  everyone  knows  the  poisoned  air  which  accumulates  in  i 

dwellings  settles  to  the  floor  and  with  the  fireplace  in  the  room  * 

this  poisonous  air  is  instantly  carried  up  the  chimney,  and  the  j 

installation  of  one  of  our  mantels,  which  means  a  comparatively  j 

small  expenditure  of  money,  will  afford  proper  ventilation  for  ; 

your  dwelling  and  it  will  do  away  with  one  of  the  greatest  ] 

dangers  to  health — impure  air.  I 

I  ' 

This  item  of  house  furnishing,  however,  should  be  selected  i 
with  extreme  care,  and  the  variety  of  designs  that  we  are  offering 
makes  it  possible  for  anyone  to  select  a  proper  mantel  whether 
for  a  modest  little  cottage  or  mansion. 

All  of  our  mantels  are  built  of  selected  oak,  all  lumber  is  , 

thoroughly  kiln-dried,  mantels  are  built  by  the  most  skilled  ; 

workmen  in  a  factojy  equipped  with  the  most  modern  machinery,  j 

and  not  a  single  item  is  permitted  to  go  out  without  being  thor-  , 

oughly  inspected,  thus  insuring  the  purchaser  the  same  high 
quality  in  this  item  as  characterizes  all  of  our  mill  work. 

We  are  showing  two  different  styles  of  grates.  These  grates 
are  made  of  the  best  material,  scientifically  constructed  in  every 
respect,  and  insure  the  buyer  an  outfit  that  will  give  absolute 
satisfaction.  They  are  suitable  for  burning  either  wood,  soft 
coal  or  hard  coal.  The  frame  and  summer  front  are  finished 
in  oxidized  copper;  only  the  very  best  glazed  tile  are  furnished 
for  the  face  and  hearth.

Detailed  Deseription  and  General 
Instructions  for  Ordering 

IT  is  always  advisable  to  buy  a  mantel  outfit  complete.  In 
assembling  this  material  we  have  endeavored  to  make  the 
various  parts  interchangeable  as  much  as  possible.  A  com¬ 
plete  mantel  would  consist  of  the  following : 

Mantel,  whichever  design  may  be  chosen; 

,  The  necessary  amount  of  glazed  tile  for  face  and  hearth ; 

Grate,  whichever  design  is  selected. 

These  grates  are  fitted  with  damper  and  shaker  bottoms  and 
the  frame  and  summer  front.  The  tile  can  be  furnished  in  prac¬ 
tically  any  color  desired,  although  the  following  combinations 
seem  to  be  preferred  : 

Brown,  olive  and  white ; 

]\lixed  dark  and  light  green; 

Mixed  brown  and  yellow ; 

Light  brown  and  white. 

In  order  to  avoid  errors  and  to  make  it  possible  for  us  to 
fill  your  order  promptly  it  is  necessary  that  care  be  exercised 
in  writing  out  your  order;  making  it  explicit  in  every  way  as 
to  what  is  wanted.  This  will  not  entail  a  lengthy  description 
on  your  part,  but  mere  definite  reference  to  the  designs  and  num¬ 
bers.  As  an  illustration  we  are  listing  below  the  manner  in 
which  your  order  should  be  made  up. 

Ship  one  mantel.  Primrose. 

Grate  outfit,  including  summer  front  No.  1. 

Tile,  light  brown  and  yellow. 

These  three  items  make  up  a  complete  mantel.  These  mantels 
ai'e  shipped  either  from  Dubiuiue  or  factory  from  whichever 
])oint  the  freight  rate  will  be  lowest  to  your  station.

These  Foundation  Chutes  axe  designed  not  only  for  conveying  coal  in 
your  cellar,  but  wood  and  vegetables  as  well;  when  open  the  door  protects 
the  building  from  injury  caused  by  throwing  coal  against  it.  It  strikes 
the  door,  falling  into  the  hopper  and  passes  to  the  basement.  When  the 
Joor  closes,  the  hopper  swings  into  the  body,  making  a  window  of  the  chute, 
pd  the  door  automatically  locks  itself  and  can  be  opened  only  from  the 
inside,  making  it  burglar-proof.  The  chain  attachment  makes  it  possible 
to  unlock  the  door  any  distance  from  the  chute  in  the  cellar.

BUILDING  MATLALALS 


OUTSIDE  AND  INSIDE  MOULDINGS 

All  patterns  of  mouldings  shown  in  this  book  intended  for 
exterior  work,  such  as  cornices,  we  furnish  in  STRICTLY  SOFT 
WHITE  PINE  AND  PRACTICALLY  CLEAR.  You  will  not  find 
any  spruce,  fir,  hemlock  or  other  woods  mixed  in.  White  pine 
is  recognized  as  the  ideal  material  for  outside  mouldings  and  our 
slock  insures  you  the  highest  quality  obtainable,  perfectly  milled 
and  free  from  the  many  objectionalde  features  usually  encoun¬ 
tered  in  the  average  lot  of  mouldings  that  you  have  used. 

All  of  our  Yellow  Pine  mouldings  and  interior  trim  are  made 
of  the  celebrated  Arkansas  Soft  Yellow  Pine,  a  specie  of  this 
Southern  timber  peculiarly  adapted  for  this  class  of  stock.  It  is 
soft  in  texture,  fine  fibre  and  a  most  beautiful  grain.  It  will  not 
si)lit  and  sliver  like  so  much  of  the  yellow  pine  that  is  offered  in 
general,  and  consequently  makes  it  possible  for  the  carpenter  to 
do  his  work  quicker  and  better. 

This  finishing,  because  of  its  nice  grain,  can  be  readily  stained 
to  match  the  furniture,  whether  antique  oak,  cherry,  mission  oak, 
Flemish  green  or  any  of  the  popular  shades. 

The  Red  Oak  trim  and  mouldings  are  manufactured  out  of  the 
finest  oak  logs  produced  on  the  table  lands  of  Tennessee.  These 
logs  are  not  water  soaked  before  they  are  sawn  into  lumber  and 
consequently  the  stained  stock  which  frequently  proves  sueh  an 
annoying  feature  in  oak  trim  is  not  to  be  found  in  the  material 
we  furnish. 

The  oak  lumber  out  of  whieh  our  mouldings  and  trim  are 
made  is  handled  scientifically  and  properly  from  the  time  the  tree 
is  cut  until  the  finished  product  reaches  you.  It  is  piled  properly, 
thoroughly  air-dried  and  then  kiln-dried.  The  natural  acids  con¬ 
tained  in  the  oak  are  preserved,  and  this  feature,  with  perfect 
milling,  assures  our  customers  a  product  that  makes  it  easy  for 
the  carpenter  and  decorator  to  bring  out  the  beautiful  effects 
natural  to  this  wood.  OAving  to  the  scientific  handling  of  the 
lumber,  checked  and  split  ends  so  frequently  found  in  this  class 
of  stock  are  avoided,  and  you  will  not  find  any  waste  material  in 
our  products.

’  Hardwood  flooring  is  an  item  in  the  selection  of  which  the 
;  utmost  care  must  be  exercised  if  the  best  results  are  desired. 
This  class  of  stock  is  offered  in  various  quarters  at  all  kinds  of 
prices,  but  years  of  experience  and  specializing  in  this  item  have 
,  demonstrated  to  us  beyond  a  question  of  doubt  that  only  the 
'  very  best  quality  of  hardwood  flooring  should  be  used  and  that 
the  mill  work  or  matching  must  be  absolutely  perfect. 


The  Oak  flooring  on  which  we  quote  above  is  made  out  of  the 
•  cream  of  oak  produced  along  the  Ohio  river,  out  of  boards  not 
only  thoroughly  air-dried,  but  kiln-dried  as  well  and  manufac¬ 
tured  in  an  up-to-date  plant  with  the  most  modern  machinery  and 
under  scrupulous  supervision. 

1  The  Hard  Maple  and  Beech  is  made  from  the  choice  products 
’‘I  of  the  Michigan  forests,  and  nothing  better  in  quality  and  manu- 
f  facture  can  possibly  be  produced.  Our  flooring  will  lay  up 
' smooth  and  even,  will  not  require  the  tremendous  amount  of 
planing  and  scraping  usually  necessary  on  the  ordinary  class  of 
;  stock  and,  taking  these  features  into  consideration,  you  will  And

SEIPPEL  PERFECT  SILO 


A  Silo  is  a  most  necessary  improvement 
on  the  farm.  The  majority  of  wide-awake 
farmers  realize  that  there  is  profit  in  a  silo, 
since  it  aids  in  utilizing  what  would  othei'- 
wise  be  waste,  and  converting  it  into  the  best 
of  feed. 

Wood  is  the  best  material  to  use  in  con¬ 
structing  a  practical  silo  since  it  is  the  best 
non-conductor  of  heat,  and  it  conserves  the 
warm  temperature  at  the  beginning  of  fermentation  so  the  proper 
acid  is  formed. 


The  Seippel  “Perfect  Silo”  is  built  of  clear  one  piece  fir 
staves  only.  Two  piece  staves  are  not  practical  and  fir  is  con¬ 
ceded  to  be  the  best  material  on  the  market  for  durai)ility  in  silo 
construction. 


THE  PERFECT  DOOR 


Note  the  construction  of  the  door.  It  cannot  sag,  is  easily  and 
quickly  detached,  cannot  stick  or  bind,  and  when  closed  forms  an 
absolutely  air-tight  job.

THE  NATURAL  VISION  AUTOMOBILE  LENZ

All  Sizes  Carried  in  Stock 


The  main  problem  in  headlight  design  is  that  of  applying  the  light  effec¬ 
tively  for  driving  purposes  without  producing  glare. 

After  a  great  deal  of  intensive  study  and  experimenting  on  the  subject, 
F.  0.  Jacobson,  the  inventor  of  the  NATURAL  VISION  LENZ  accom¬ 
plished  this  by  means  of  a  patented  process  of  stippling  on  the  upper  half 
of  the  lens,  while  the  bottom  consists  of  a  series  of  patented  grooves,  placed 
in  a  vertical  position  across  the  lower  half. 

The  rays  of  light  passing  through  the  stippled  portion  are  softened,  thus 
giving  a  soft  and  mellow  light  and  eliminating  the  glare  from  the  top  of 
the  reflector.  The  grooves  on  the  lower  portion  diffuse  and  spread  the  light 
out  over  the  road,  doing  away  with  the  glare  from  the  low^er  portion  of  the 
reflector.  This  combination  makes  an  ideal  light  for  both  city  and  country 
driving. 

The  NATURAL  VISION  LENZ  has  six  essential  advantages  over  any 
other  lens. 

1.  They  give  headlight  range  of  300  to  500  feet  with  standard  24  candle- 
power  bulb,  when  properly  focused. 

2.  They  spread  the  light  75  feet  on  either  side  of  the  road,  giving  the 
driver  a  natural  vision  of  cross  roads  and  dangerous  railroad  crossings. 

3.  They  bring  the  light  back  close  to  the  car  enabling  the  driver  to  see 
distinctly  in  turning  corners,  and  give  three  times  as  much  useful  light  for 
driving  purposes. 

4.  They  have  a  smooth  convexed  outer  surface  and  will  not  fill  up  with 
mud  and  dust. 

5.  They  eliminate  all  glare  but  still  retain  sufficient  strength  to  pene¬ 
trate  fog,  dust  and  smoke,  and  make  driving  safe  at  30  miles  an  hour  under 
adverse  weather  conditions. 

6.  They  are  designed  especially  for  country  driving  and  comply  with 
all  city  and  state  non-glare  laws. 

You  save  the  dealer’s  profit  on  NATURAL  VISION  I>ENZ. 

All  other  non-glare  lenses  on  the  market  retail  at  from  $.3.50  to  $5.50 
per  pair  and  are  sold  through  dealers.  We  have  adopted  the  plan  of  selling 
direct  to  the  automobile  owners,  and  have  established  a  price  equal  to  the 
dealer’s  cost  which  gives  you  the  advantage  of  the  dealer’s  profit. 

Our  Guarantee 

If  you  are  not  perfectly  satisfied  with  the  results  obtained  from  the 
NATURAL  VISION  I.,ENZ  return  them  to  us  within  ten  days  and  we  will

Simply  send  size  of  your  present  lens,  name  and  model  of  car.  together

GILT  EDGE  GYPSUM  PANEL  BOARD 


We  are  pleased  to  be  able  to  offer  to  our  patrons  a  wall  board  which  we  i 
positively  guarantee  will  not  warp  or  buckle  either  on  walls  or  ceilings  | 
under  ordinary  building  conditions.  It  is  practically  an  impossibility  to  get 
away  from  these  features  when  using  any  of  the  fibre  or  compressed  paper 
boards. 

The  base  of  Gilt  Edge  Gypsum  Panel  Board  is  rock  gypsum  and  is  more 
nearly  like  plaster  than  other  and  similar  boards  on  the  market.  It  has  all 
the  good  qualities  of  lath  and  plaster  and,  in  addition,  is  much  easier  applied 
and  is  less  expensive.  It  is  nailed  directly  to  the  studding  and  no  plaster  ' 
is  required,  although  you  can  very  readily  apply  a  hard  finish  coat  of  plaster 
if  you  prefer.  This,  however,  is  not  necessary  since  you  can  apply  any 
kind  of  decoration  right  on  the  surface  of  the  board  and  can  paint  it  with  ■ 
calcimine,  and  no  panel  strips  are  necessary.  The  joints  are  concealed  by  ■ 
filling  them  with  Gilt  Edge  Crack  Filler  and  you  decorate  as  you  would  a 
plaster  wall. 

You  can,  of  course,  produce  a  neat  j)aneled  effect  with  the  aid  of  panel 
strips,  and  you  can  have  any  sort  of  panel  arrangement  you  may  desire 
because  you  are  not  obliged  to  apply  the  panel  strips  over  the  joints.  How¬ 
ever,  Avhen  panel  strips  do  not  cover  the  joints  the  latter  must  be  filled  in 
the  usual  manner. 

Anyone  at  all  handy  with  tools  can  make  a  finished  wall.  This  I’anel 
Board  is  made  in  sheets  of  different  sizes  and  a  building  can  be  finished 
without  waiting  for  lathers  or  plasterers. 

Gilt  Edge  Gypsum  Panel  Board  is  suitable  not  only  for  new  work  but 
for  repair  work  as  well.  If  any  of  your  plastered  walls  or  ceilings  are  un¬ 
satisfactory  or  defective,  tear  them  down  and  put  on  this  Gilt  Edge  Gypsum 
Panel  Board.  You  can  do  the  w’ork  yourself.  The  only  tools  needed  are  a

■'  just  as  readily  as  it  will  through  a  thin  wood  board. 


No  mussy  plaster  around  the  house  when  you  are  making  repairs.  No 
waiting  for  piaster  to  dry.  The  minute  the  board  is  nailed  on  the  wall,  it 
is  ready  for  decorating.  It  is  fire-proof.  Eock  Gypsum  composition  positively 
:  will  not  burn.  It  is  lasting.  Gilt  Edge  Gypsum  Panel  Board  is  kiln-dried

i  Gilt  Edge  Gypsum  Panel  Board  can  be  used  for  any  kind  of  buildings; 
n  new  residences,  offices,  stores,  clubs,  bungalows,  summer  cottages,  in  fact,

GALVANIZED  IRON  ROOF  WINDOWS 


S1077 


Just  “the  thing”  for  hog  houses,  poultry  houses  or  any  other  building 
where  plenty  of  sunshine  is  essential. 

No  hog  or  poultry  house  is  complete  without  these  windows.  The  stock 
is  bathed  in  sunshine  every  day  the  sun  shines.  They  prevent  disease,  make 
the  stock  healthy,  hardy  and  faster  growing  and  will  pay  for  themselves  in 
the  increased  profits  you  will  make  on  your  hogs  and  poultry. 

These  window's  are  easily  installed  by  anyone.  All  you  have  to  do  is 
to  cut  a  hole  in  the  roof  20"x28",  lay  the  window  over  the  opening  and  re¬ 
shingle  over  the  flashing.  Windows  are  fitted  with  4-inch  flashings  all 
around,  making  the  extreme  measurement  28"x3()".  The  entire  frame  as 
well  as  the  flashings  are  made  of  heavy  galvanized  steel,  and  the  entire 
glass  surface  is  covered  with  a  galvanized  netting,  which  serves  as  a  pro¬ 
tection  against  hail  or  rocks  or  any  other  objects  that  may  fall  on  the 
window'.  This  makes  the  equipment  practically  indestructible. 

We  furnish  these  wdndows  complete  with  the  two  lights  of  glass,  ]0"x28" 
in  size.  Glass  is  packed  separately  in  order  to  prevent  breakage  in  shipping.

Gentlemen:  I  am  enclosing-  under  separate  cover  photographs  of  the 
building's  erected  from  material  purchased  from  you,  and  I  can  say  I  am 
very  well  pleased  with  my  dealings  with  you.  with  your  fair  and  courteous 
treatment,  and  high  quality  of  material.  One  could  not  be  otherwise.  My 
carpenters  were  in  a  jolly  good  humor  because  they  had  such  good  lumber 
to  work  with.  I  think  you  will  make  several  more  sales  in  this  section  in 
the  future,  as  the  goods  have  been  inspected  and  admired  by  several  car¬ 
penters  and  residents  here.  Yours  truly, 

D.  A.  CROSS.

Dear  Sirs:  Just  got  the  lumber  unloaded  and  home  and  find  it  all  right, 
and  thank  you  very  much  for  your  quick  shipment.  Had  about  twenty-five 
farmers  that  helped  me  to  unload  and  they  said  it  was  the  nicest  lumber 
that  they  saw  in  many  a  day. 

The  extra  pieces  that  I  spoke  of  for  the  scales,  let  them  go  for  the 
present,  for  there  are  some  neighbors  that  are  going  to  build  and  I  think 
they  will  send  for  their  lumber  to  you. 

Wish  you  an  abundance  of  success  and  lots  of  business.  You  will  find 
draft  enclosed  for  the  lumber.  Give  my  regards  to  all  the  boys.  Hope  to 
see  you  again  in  the  near  future. 

Yours  very  truly, 

HENRY  MULROY.
